>> Um so I made my 50-something Christmas wreaths and I don't even wanna see another spring of greenery right now okay please and thank you.

>> *is borderline squealing over this one* OKAY SO. Chances are, if you've been around the blogging/book-blogging world long, you've heard of Lindsey and her blog Books for Christian Girls. (C'mon, she's kinda like a legend, people.) Awhile back, I contacted Lindsey about reviewing Dandelion Dust, she agreed, and the review came out this month!!

>> Thanksgiving happened, y'all. It sounds cliche, but we have so much to be thankful for. <3

\\ Books. \\

Well, I didn't get any new books this month (so this section is gonna be kinda lame and pictureless *cries*), but I did read some epic books. I also 'read' two audiobooks and one audio drama (marked with **), which was super awesome because getting to be immersed in a story while you're doing monotonous work? High five, audio-makers.

The Candle in the Window by Margaret Hill McCarter/Lamplighter Theatre** -- 5 stars

\\ Writing. \\

So, I didn't do NaNo this month, but I did edit about 10-12 chapters in War Tears. I also wrote a short Christmas story this month (that y'all will be getting soon-ish) and started another Christmas story that...will probably never see this blog. But who knows. :P

I also got my first-draft copy of A Soldier's Freedom. I'll have that post up sometime soon. Hopefully. ;)

\\ Movies & Music. \\

I watched lots of great movies this month! I'm probably forgetting half of them, but...

Dashing Through the Snow

Forever Strong

Christmas Homecoming

A Cookie-Cutter Christmas

Re-watched 4 movies of WCTH Season 4

Music? I don't even know what to put here, other than Bleed the Same is an epic song and THE WORLD NEEDS IT. *ahem*

The local Christian radio station starting playing aaaallllll Christmas music on Black Friday which made me reealllyyy happy. But...I'm going to refrain from mentioning my favorites because y'all are gonna hear about those during the upcoming blog party. Speaking of which...

\\ Blogging. \\

Blogging in November involved planning and prepping for the 12 Days of Christmas blog party! This is not something y'all are gonna wanna miss. Other than myself, there are between 15-20 bloggers signed up (is it bad that I'm not sure?) and *squeals* it's gonna be awesome!! :D

This year really seems to be flying by! The author interview was a lot of fun! <3That is just so exciting that Lindsey reviewed your book and talked about it in her latest video!! :DListening to audiobooks and audio drama’s sounds like a great way to pass the time. Were you listening to them while you made wreaths? ;)Those 2 Circle C Stepping Stones books were really fun. So was “Mandie and Joe’s Christmas Surprise”. Oh how fun that you got your first-draft copy of “A Soldier’s Freedom”! Dashing Through the Snow! I just re-watched that one the other night! :DOur local Christian radio station started playing Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving too!Great recap, Faith! :)

It does! Scary. O.OAgreed! <3EEPPSS, I was so thrilled that she loved it so much!!! <3 :DHehe, yes, I was. ;) Making wreaths was something I could do without really concentrating on it, and I had won the two Kate audiobooks awhile back, so that was the perfect time to listen to them. ;) Those were cute! *grins* Yup!! Makes me want to jump right back into editing it, buuutt....I'll make myself finish WT first. :P I want to re-watch that one! :DThat's great! I just love Christmas music. Thank you! :)

sounds like you had an awesome month!! and HELLO TO ANOTHER HUMAN WHO DIDN'T DO NANO xP xD I honestly just had no time this year and no motivation. I still think there should be nano in february I MEAN C'MON. IT WOULD BE SO AMAZING.

also, thank you so much for linking my post ahhhhh XD AND AH CHRISTMAS IS SO SOON ALSO THE END OF THE YEAR (legit I didn't even think about the end of the year part of this whole thing until two days ago. no joke. :P)

I've also listened to a lot of audiobooks this year! *high-fives back* I listen to them to do chores and exercise. :) I found a favorite reader on Librivox (Karen Savage <3) and listen to classics like “The Railway Children,” the “Anne of Green Gables Series”. . . also some group readings of like “Little Women” and other classics, where she is often in as well. :)

About Me.

Saved by God's grace, I'm a teenage writer and homeschool graduate, living with my family and beloved yellow labs in the North Carolina mountains. When I'm not weaving stories, consuming large amounts of coffee, reading stacks of books, or studying American Sign Language, I can be found laughing harder than is healthy, daydreaming, and—of course—blowing dandelions.
